Ok. So if I was to replace the #14 (7.5 inch)and I just don't like the finger groove handles, which would be the more comfortable in Micarta, Border Patrol or Finger groove (1x)?

Considering I have smallish hands, thinking towards the Border Patrol handle.
Opinions would be appreciated as I've not held either, let alone used one for long period.

My #5 7 inch just doesn't have the mass required for dealing with Jungle or coconuts. I want to down size from my current Bush knife (Busse Battle Mistress)which gets quite a workout when living on Tropical Islands for 6x months each year.
Thanks Wayne
